My rating for the food would be 4*. The vegetarian dishes are a bit too sweet, the meat ones are good. The service is also nice, but the price/value ratio is not quite justified imo, thus 3*.

Fun staff and amazing food: a recipe for an enjoyable evening. Also quite a bit o the cheaper side compared to other similar places.

The place: quaint, inviting. Not too distracting with decoration, so you can focus on what matters: gastronomy.

The food: exquisite. Ranging from herby, refreshing, to rich and comforting. I personally enjoyed all of the dishes they served, with some nice surprises like the soy yogurt served between main dishes, the red cabbage core, and my personal favorite, the noix gras (foie gras-like dish made with nuts and decorated with pumpkin flowers).

The service: one of the nicest experiences we had in Michelin star places. Not serious or over-the-top, dishes were presented in a fun way, and staff was young, interacted with us quite nicely, and patiently waited while I translated dish descriptions to my mom, who only speaks Portuguese. We got some nice wine recommendations and the sommelier was remarkably knowledgeable and chatted with us about wines we had elsewhere. Lovely experience at Maison Manesse. The only remark I would have is service stretched for almost 4 hours, which would not really be a problem, except we were quite exhausted and started getting pretty sleepy at the end.

Es war ein durchaus perfekter Abend. Wir hatten einmal den 4-gang Fleisch und einmal das 4-gang Vegi Menü mit Weinbegleitung. Die Gänge waren kreativ, durchdacht und phänomenal. Der Service war zuvorkommend und äusserst freundlich. Wir waren das Erste und nicht das letzte Mal im Maison Manesse.
